Something to practise

Read one step at a time and try it on the playing area. Match the instruction to the control you use. Make the next step deliberately.

Your objective

Win three mini-boards in a row on the large board. Keep that objective in view throughout the round. Notice how the game responds to your input.

The playing sequence

  1. Play inside the required mini-board.
  2. Your selected square sends the opponent to the corresponding mini-board.
  3. A closed required board permits play in any open board.
  4. Win local boards, then a large-board line.

Input guidance

Click or tap a piece and destination; use the turn indicator and legal-move feedback. Keep the playing area visible while using these controls. Check any mode label before starting.

An example to follow

A top-right cell sends the next player to the top-right mini-board. Apply the same reasoning to the position in your own round. Check the stated objective.

A mistake to avoid

A single local win does not finish the overall game. A different version of the game may use a different rule. Locate the buttons and input area before beginning a long round. Use the on-screen labels to avoid an accidental restart.
